How and What to Eat in the Spring.

April Herald of Health.
In the springtime of the year there is
great occasion for care in the matter of food.
The kind that has satisfied and supported the
body during the winter has served its purpose,
and is no longer fit for USE In cold weather the
human system assmilate materials that
would clog and derange it in spring. There is
no need for drugs to make people feel we'll when
the things which have remained dormant in the
ground begin to give signs of life. A judicious
change of diet is required; that is all 1t is bet
ter to take the materials Of health from the gro
Ger than from the druggist. Begin the morning
meal with an extra allowance Of fruit. Take
two sound oranges apples if you have been
eating only one, or three if you have been eat
ing two. Be sure there is no decay in the fruit
employed in this manner. Eat good bread and
crate the usual allowance. If you are hot
water drinker take as much as you like. If
you flesh eater take half as much as you
do in winter. Pork is unfit for human food at
any season. Eat less butter and grease of all
kinds in spring If potatoes are sound and
mealy they are not Objectionable cheesy pota-
toes are unfit There is the utmost need FOR the
exercise of caution in the use of vegetables Of
any kind. Unless they have been we'll pre-
served and have a wholesome favor, the part of
wisdom is to avoid them. Raw cabbage that
has been spoiled by freezing is often served in
oyster houses of q certain class. The odor is
disagreeable and readily marks it. In spring it
is important that the heaviest meal should be
eaten in the middle of the day. The warm rains
produce an atmospheric condition which causes
drowsiness Eating hearty meal in the midst
Of this pressure adds to the weight upon the sys-
tenn. In daylight the demands of business or
duty will enable you to cope with it. II the
evening there is no such stimulus, and the re-
suit is injury to health. The evening meal
should be light and easily digested. Don't eat
buckwheat cakes dcughnuts. If you
meat eater be sure that the meat has been
broiled or roasted. Don't eat fried food of any
kind 1t is not desirable to feel that you have
eaten enough Moderation is the best doctor.

Woman and Art.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A certain st. Paul lady. desiring to have her
portrait painted by Chicago artist. insisted on
his making her jewelry the most conspicuous
portion of the portrait. As the transaction was
for needed money, the artist complied. When
the portrait almost completed, she came
into his studio much excited and informed him
that he must change it. How, MADAME" he in

have placed one necklace around my throat. But
this morning my husband presented me with
another That must be placed there too" Vain

second necklace went on, and the portrait was
so delivered This is not quite as bad, though, as
another st. Paul lady. who, while having her
portrait painted, brought into the studio that
feminine GODDESS dress maker-to see il her
dress fitted as well in the portrait as it did upon
the original. The poor artist was compelled to
sit in torture and agony while the dress maker
with critical eye and a mind to the dollars and
cents informed him as to just how my lady's
silk and satin SHOULD hang on her shapely form.

A FRAGMENT.

The years of life frutless. Youth is passed
In weaving plans from airy dreams that fade,
And growing hopes OF happiness supreme
That shall be crowned with fullness when the years
Transmute their anxious yearnings into deeds.
Those years arrive where manhood meets with toll,
And all the fervent longings born of youth
Prove idle phanto1ns of heated brain,
And baseless as a vision Of the night
To hearts in which they nestled. Fancy builds
Fond homes of peace and rest in which to pass
feeble age and round the days of life
With sacred sweets that seldom fall to men.
But when that Age with snowy locks is come
The MONDAY longings change to happy trust,
While preparation for a sweeter life,
Beyond the sorrows of a troublous world
Plants tender wishes in the weary heart
That lead the failing footsteps to the grave
And promise Paradise beyond the SKIES
Life has no pleasure and no pomp so great
But that our longings wish them greater still;
And Disappointment has dominion here
That Hope may lift yearning to the stars
And Trust direct us to the gates beyond.
Faith brightens both the cradle and the tomb.

When on my soul in nakedness
His swift, avertless hand did press,
Then 1 stood still. nor cried aloud.
Nor murmured low in ashes bowed;
And since my woe is utteress,
To supreme quiet am vowed;
Afar from me be moan and fears
shall go softly all my years.
When so quick, hght-sandaled feet
Bring me where joys and pleasures meet,
l mingle with their throng at will;
They know me not an alien STILL
Since neither words nor ways unsweet
OF stored bitterness spill;
Youth shuns not nor gladness fears
For go softly all my years.
Whenso l come where Griefs convene.
And in my their voice is keen;
They know me not on glide
That with Arch Sorrow l abide.
They haggard are, and droop'd of mien
And round their brows have cypress tied;
Such shows leave to light Griefs peers
shall go softly all my years.
Yea, softly! heart of hearts unknown
Silence hath speech that passeth moan,
More piercing keen than breathed cries
To such as heed, made sorrow wise,
t But save this voice without tone
That runs before me to the skies,
And rings above thy ringing spheres,
Lord, go softly all my years!

CapriciouS Fame.

Fame. like Maynard girl. will still be coy
To those who WOO her with too slavsn knees,
But makes surrender to some thoughtless boy,
And dotes the more upon heart at ease
She is gipsy-will not speak to those
Who nave not learnt to be content without her;
A jilt whose never whispered close
Who thinks they scandal her who talk about her:
A very gypsy is she, Nilus born
Sster-in-law to jealous Potiphar;
Ye love-sick bards. repay her scorn for scorn;
Ye artists lovelorn. madmen that We are!
Make your best bow to her and bid adeu,
Then, if she likes it. she will follow you.
